Chicks Who Click (and a few brave boys) PROP SWAP March 7, 2010

Yup, you read it right - PROP SWAP! Thanks to Tammy of Smiley Eyes for her fabulous suggestion!

Are you bored of your props? Looking to mix it up a bit without breaking the bank? Not sure what to use next? What better time than spring to clean out those cupboards and closets and freshen up your picture-takin' goodies? Join us from 4 to 6 pm on March 7, 2010 for a Chicks Who Click and Brave Boys gathering dedicated to refreshing and revitalizing your photography props. How does it work?

Bring the props you're willing to swap, and barter yourself up a deal. Simple as that. Trade a basket for a basket, a blanket for a blanket, a costume for a costume. If you don't have something similar to trade, perhaps you want to trade a bouquet of flowers and a set of plush elf hats for that miniature wicker chair. You are also welcome to bring backdrops, lighting, storage, travel, etc. equipment.

This is not a licensed trade show or sale so vendors are not invited but MAY be permitted to attend and network not sell, only on approval from the organizers. If you are just starting out and/or really have nothing to trade you are welcome to come and bring some alcohol, chocolate, or priceless family heirlooms to barter with, or you may arrange to pick up your goods privately.

There is a $5 entrance fee to help cover the cost of the venue, which can be paid in advance via email transfer, or $10 at the door on the day of. You should also provide a rough description of all items you plan to bring so that we can figure out what kinds of areas we need to set up.

If you'd like to sign up for the first annual Chicks Who Click (and a few brave boys) Spring Cleaning Prop Swap, send an email to h dot walls at shaw dot ca!
